This mural reflects the pull of the mountains: the calm, cold, and quiet mystery that draws people to places like Jindabyne and the Snowy Mountains. The figure is moving toward that stillness, guided by feeling rather than direction.
It speaks to stepping away from noise and into something simpler and more grounding. The cold isn’t shown as harsh, but as clarifying a space where focus sharpens and things slow down.
Placed in Jindabyne, the mural sits as a quiet marker for anyone drawn to the mountains for solitude, movement, and connection to place.
